Everyone has the power to grow, heal and improve their life. Maybe you are feeling stuck due to symptoms of depression or anxiety or are feeling overwhelmed by being in a difficult season of life. Therapy can help you process what you have been through, better understand the patterns keeping you stuck, and build healthier ways of coping so you can feel more grounded, resilient, and in control of your life again. Having a seasoned and trusted clinician alongside you can make all the difference in moving you towards your goals. For almost 25 years, I've partnered with individuals experiencing depression, stress management, anger management, and PTSD so they can regain emotional balance, strengthen their relationships, and create healthier, more fulfilling lives. Working with adolescents and adults, I strive to provide a compassionate, supportive space where you feel heard, respected, and empowered to take meaningful steps toward lasting change.

Therapist

I started out working in college sports as a trainer and eventually began consulting with athletes and coaches after graduate school. My career path later took me through 10 years with an ambulance service, 2 years as a community service officer and 4 years as a crisis counselor embedded with a police department. I've also spent a considerable amount of time teaching psychology as a college professor. Because of this rather unique skill set, I have a heart for athletes, rescue workers and students.

Find the right therapist for you

Headway makes it easy to find support for your mental health — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Topeka, KS

Searching for therapists in Topeka starts with knowing what kind of support you want. People look for therapy in Topeka for many reasons, including anxiety, depression, grief, relationship challenges, stress, and life transitions. As you compare Topeka therapists, look for someone whose listed specialties, training, and therapy style match your needs. A therapist bio can help you understand whether they use approaches like cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, trauma-informed care, or another style that fits what you want from care.

In a smaller city like Topeka, local therapist availability may vary by schedule, specialty, and office location. Virtual therapy can expand your options while still letting you see a Kansas-licensed therapist from a setting that works for you. When narrowing your search, consider whether a therapist is accepting new clients, offers appointment times that fit your calendar, and provides a free phone consultation. Reading profiles before booking can also show how a therapist describes their communication style, session structure, and experience with concerns like yours.

Therapy in Topeka can be a significant expense without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand what you may pay before your first appointment. Headway helps you search for therapists who accept a wide range of insurance plans, review estimated out-of-pocket costs before you book, and filter by preferences like availability, specialty, and virtual or in-person care. You can browse therapists, review bios, and book directly when you’re ready.

1 Cost may vary based on your location, age, and insurance coverage.
